I am so sorry to hear of Jackie's passing. I worked with her many years ago and probably learned more from her than she learned from me. I was mostly amused by the particular bent she took on life. Her life was full of lemons but she continued to make lemonade.

Joan, You probably don't remember me but I lived down the street from you on RidgeValley. I have thought about Jackie all these years more than anyone else from high school and college. However, I knew your last name would be different and probably your parents deceased. When we're young, we don't understand how hard life can become. Now I know where Jackie is and my heart is filled with all the tears I've felt about her for these many years. So many memories of Jackie appear to me as if I just saw her at home in her bedroom. I'm only gladden by the fact that you're married and have a daughter.

Jackie was a riot. She knew how to pull your strings.But deep down she was a sweetheart.She could make you laugh one instance and the next you just want to strangler her.I have known Jackie for one year. She stayed in my personal care home.All THE RESIDENTS LOVED HER AND ARE STILL GRIEVING. I will miss her dearly. Not a day has gone by since her death that I haven't thought of her and what she would be doing or saying. Love you JACKIE BOSS.

Joan, Just today I was struggling with my Medicare forms and thought about Jackie and wondered how she is doing because, boy, she could complete those forms so efficiently. Little did I know she is gone until I checked my mail. She was strong willed, determined and left me lessons on self dertemination. May you be consoled by the fact that my collegues and I remember that and other life lessons from her. May Jackie rest in peace. Phike

When I got the news this morning of Jackie's death while driving to work - it brought tears to my eyes. Because of the type of work I have done, Jackie and I had many telephone conversations. I also visited her twice that I recall. I know that sometimes we wonder about the reasons that a person is on this earth. Well, I'm an existentialist and believe that the here and now is our only opportunity to be and share with others. Jackie was a teacher. She taught me patience, understanding and acceptance of the simple things of life. She, from time to time, gave me a laugh and shared her softness and caring through her deep love of Cheery - her little bird that I got to meet. She had hard times, but she did all she could to deal with them the best that she knew how. I have never forgotten her though it's been about 3 or 4 years since last we talking. She became part of my life. Thanks Jackie! Karen

Jackie and I were classmates at Grady and I have fond memories of her. I was looking forward to seeing her at the reunion this May.
